The new Chrome plugin for LogMeIn will provide you with a seamless experience and full remote access functionality. Now you can remote control in HD, share and transfer files, print remotely and more... all without having to switch browsers.

We've also made improvements to the Firefox and IE plugins to make sure your experience is consistent across browsers.

Chrome lovers, check it out today!

Please note: The Chrome plugin will work with Windows machines only. It will not work with Mac machines or on a Mac Chrome browser.

We're pleased to announce the latest version of LogMeIn is available. With this update we support the highly anticipated launch of Windows 8. If you're planning on upgrading your systems, simply update your LogMeIn hosts and you're ready to go. Any new systems you install LogMeIn on will automatically have the most recent version 4.1.2600.

We will be rolling out auto updates over the next few days, but to ensure you have the most recent version, simply open the LogMeIn host software and click About>Check for Updates.

We have released new enhancements in LogMeIn Central Alerts to help you easily manage and monitor remote computers running LogMeIn Pro. Now you can do more with Central Alerts to proactively maintain systems.

Updates include a new Event alert to monitor event code activity on a computer or group.

You can now use the improved Event alert rule to monitor event code activity on a computer or across a group of computers. You can define multiple event sources, event categories or event identifiers, and you can also define exceptions. The rule will alert when an event log entry that matches the specified criteria is written to one of the standard Windows event logs.

In addition to the new Event alert rule, we have also added many new usability enhancements to make it easier than ever to create and set up alerts as well as the ability to set alert rules as Active or Disabled within an alert package.

Step-by-step: Create an Alert Package with the new Event alert rule

In LogMeIn Central, click the Alerts tab.

Click Manage Alert Packages.

Click Add Alert Package. The Add Alert Package page is displayed.

Give your Alert Package a Name.

Add rules to the package. (Note: You can define multiple event source, event category or event identifiers to look for, and you can also define exceptions.)

Continue to add rules as required.

Click Save Alert Package. The package is saved and ready to be assigned to computers or groups of computers.

Paired with LogMeIn Pro, the all-new Central Alerts improves insight into system health and status so you can keep machines up and running. Log in to try the new Alerts today.

LogMeIn users, your feedback is invaluable. A new beta is available for LogMeIn Central users regarding enhanced Alerts functionality with LogMeIn Pro. Simply go to http://staging.logmein.com and login with your account credentials to try out our new Alerts enhancements currently in beta. Send feedback to central-beta-feedback@logmein.com.

Based on user feedback, we've added the following in order to help make the creation and management of alerts in LogMeIn Central even easier. Beta enhancements include:

New functionality to enable alerts as Active or Disabled

New Windows Event alert type

New usability improvements to the user interface

What should I test in the LogMeIn Central Alerts Beta?

We are excited to introduce a new home for LogMeIn Hamachi users at vpn.net. LogMeIn Hamachi still offers the same great service to download, setup and manage your VPNs over the Internet. At vpn.net both new and existing users can log in to Hamachi's secure VPN service quickly and easily. LogMeIn Hamachi can network Windows and Mac OS computers in any configuration. A client for Linux-based systems is now in beta.

We've also added support for IPv6 within Hamachi. This is part of our commitment to lead IPv6 adoption as well as ensure our users continue to get the highest quality of service. Enabling Hamachi to use the IPv6 protocol means that there are now a virtually limitless number of IP addresses which can be used with Hamachi VPNs. Existing and new Hamachi VPNs will continue to leverage IPv4 addresses in addition to full support for IPv6. From an end-user perspective, the IPv6 transition will be seamless for existing Hamachi users. Hamachi hosts will be updated automatically, but you can also update Windows and Mac hosts manually by clicking "check for updates" under the help menu.

To create a new VPN, you can simply go to vpn.net, download Hamachi, create a new network, and set a password. Adding other computers to the network is quick and easy. Just point colleagues, clients and other users to vpn.net, and provide them with the network name and password.

Today we have released an updated version of the LogMeIn plugin to officially support Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4 browsers for Windows. Installing the new plugin will allow users to remotely control computers via LogMeIn Free and Pro2.

This plugin is available on Windows only, (note: we are working on a plugin for Firefox 4 on Mac. Stay tuned.) You can give it a try by simply logging into your account on www.logmein.com. You will be prompted to update your plugin automatically.
